Steps:
- If you will roast and peel the peppers yourself, do that first. (Add 20 minutes to the cooking time.).
- Note on Peppers: To serve as a main course, use 4 whole roasted red bell peppers, stem removed, so they may stuffed at top. (Many canned or bottled peppers are slit open lengthwise and therefore are not suitable for stuffing.) If whole roasted peppers are not available in your area, or you prefer freshly roasted peppers, roast the red bell peppers, peel and de-seed them before preparing filling. Use our simple step-by-step instructions on How to Roast Peppers over a BBQ grill, or under a broiler. If you wish to make a tapa, use 12-18 roasted small piquillo peppers.
- Peel the garlic and place in a mortar with the parsley sprigs. Mash together with a pestle.
- Place ground beef in a medium mixing bowl with garlic, parsley, milk, eggs, salt and paprika. Mix thoroughly. Stuff each of the roasted peppers, being careful not to tear the peppers. Close top with a toothpick.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. While oil is heating, beat the remaining two eggs in a small mixing bowl. Place 1/2 cup bread crumbs in a separate small mixing bowl.
- When oil is hot, dip red peppers into beaten egg and carefully roll to cover all sides. Remove and carefully roll in the bread crumbs. Place in hot oil to fry for 8-10 minutes, turning as the crumbs brown. Keep pan on medium heat so as not to burn.
- As the peppers are cooked, remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon or spatula and set aside on a plate.
- Peel and chop onion. In a clean frying pan on medium heat, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil. When hot, sauté onions until they are thoroughly browned. Add flour and stir. Pour in wine and broth, mix well and cook for 5-10 minutes. Sauce should begin to thicken.
- Carefully place peppers into frying pan with onion sauce and reduce heat to medium low. Continue to cook 5-8 minutes. If sauce begins to stick, add a bit of water and stir.
- Serve on plates surrounded by onion sauce.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400
- 2. Take 2 chilies and cut a slit down 1 side. Next cut a 1/2 inch slice, lengthwise, of the cream cheese and place in the chili. Take another chili and lay over the top.
- 3. Set the cream cheese chili on the largest end of the meat. Roll up and set in a baking dish with the seam down. Repeat for remaining 3 steaks
- 4. Place all rolls side by side in pan. I like to take the extra chilies and stuff them with the left over cream cheese. It is really good, too!
- 5. Cover all the carne rellenos with entire jar of salsa and bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
- 6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately with Black beans and tortillas.
Tips:
- Select the right flank steak: Choose a flank steak that is about 1 pound in weight and has a uniform thickness. Thinner steaks will cook more quickly, while thicker steaks will take longer.
- Marinate the flank steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or a more complex marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil.
- Score the flank steak: Scoring the steak before cooking will help to prevent it from curling up and will allow the marinade to penetrate more deeply.
- Cook the flank steak over high heat: Flank steak should be cooked over high heat to quickly sear the outside and create a nice crust. This will help to lock in the juices and prevent the steak from becoming dry.
- Let the flank steak rest before slicing: After cooking, let the flank steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Carne rellenos is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a special occasion dish, carne rellenos is sure to please. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your family and friends will love.
